[nabs-l] Studying to be a Teacher of the Visually Impaired

[Rob Lambert]

Which university is this? Just so I know to stay away from them for getting my masters for teaching the blind. When I transfer I will already ahve my generalist resource room license.

Jess,

No blind person will ever earn a teaching license at this program as it exists
today.  That I can just about promise you.  That includes me, despite getting
past the ability barrier.  The decision's been made, meetings have been
held, knowledge of what's happening has touched the highest levels of the
university, and those levels are cooperating in that decision.

They've done it before, to other people who are blind and visually impaired
and they will do it again most likely because I couldn't stop them.  It
takes substantial financial resources to stop them, and I don't have them. 
It costs more than tuition does.

There were some who were supposed to be trying to help, but I never heard word
one from them, and now it looks to be too late.

was having the probelm with rather it was the head of the department who also
just happened to be my advisor. I tried explaining to her that I knew other
blind teachers in the field . But, she didn't seem to understand that. I
also told her the nature of the job I was going after sooner or later which
meant I didn't have to be teaching in a classroom.
